2010 emmy picks – comedy

I snatched the following list from Entertainment Weekly because I wasn’t going to type out every single name and show when copy/paste works so much better. Anyway, since I can’t guess the Emmys as well as I can the Oscars, I’m just going to pick who I’d like to win, my pick will be bold. I may give a few comments to those I think may win… or just comments in general. However, there are a few categories I know nothing about due to shows I don’t watch. Lastly, since there are 20 categories, I’m splitting these posts. Thank me later.

*And just like any award show, there are what we call “snubs” meaning, shows or actors we, the audience, felts have been left out. I’ll include any that I personally felt have been overlooked or left out for at least a nomination.

To also save some time, I have some acronyms I’ll use
I hear good things and hope to check out someday – HGT
Fond farewell, schedule last season, nice goodbye gift – FF

COMEDYOUTSTANDING COMEDYGlee – HGTModern Family – Every episode has been goldCurb Your Enthusiasm – I like this show, haven’t seen this past season thoughNurse Jackie – HGT30 Rock – This is my 2nd choice, but I’d feel hurt if it bested Modern FamilyThe Office – I still like this show as well

OUTSTANDING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
Lea Michele (Glee)Tina Fey(30 Rock) – I will follow you to the ends of the Earth
Toni Collette (The United States of Tara) – HGT, I’ve actually seen one episode. But I love the idea and she does an excellent job playing all of her personalities.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (The New Adventures of Old Christine) – Take that CBS for cancelling the show!…That is, if she won. And I wouldn’t be mad if she did.
Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) – HGT, she was good on 30 Rock
Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation) – Maybe not this year, but she’s cool with me.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
Jane Lynch (Glee) – Even though I don’t watch the show, she’s brilliant in anything she’s in.
Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live) – Probably SNL’s MVP. Deserved.
Jane Krakowski (30 Rock) – Somewhat of a scene stealer.
Julie Bowen (Modern Family) – I think she would be my 2nd place, but I love this show I want them all to win.Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) – There are several reasons I want her to win. Her accent for starters, she uses it for comedy without even trying. And her looks also play heavily on comedy too. I’ve been a fan of her since Big Trouble. Yeah, it’s like that.
Holland Taylor (Two and A Half Men)

OUTSTANDING GUEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Mike O’Malley (Glee)
Neil Patrick Harris (Glee) – I want to give it to him, but again, I haven’t seen it. He’s still awesome though.Fred Willard (ModernFamily) – Awesome in everything he does, we can probably expect him to return for more interacting with the family.
Eli Wallach (NurseJackie)
Jon Hamm (30 Rock) – Idiot. (I wouldn’t be mad if he won.)
Will Arnett (30Rock) – Genius. (I wouldn’t be mad if he won.)

OUTSTANDING REALITY PROGRAMAntiques RoadshowDirty JobsJamie Oliver’s Food RevolutionKathy Griffin: My Life on the D ListMythbusters – I’m not a big fan of reality TV, although these shows are the “good” kind. However, this is the only one I’d regularly tune into given a choice.Undercover Boss

And an insult to Leno, I mean, how many months was Conan on? CoCo FTW!
